Damn this man is relentless with the jokes haha. I used to view this as more of a stats/logic basketball channel, but MDJ has some pretty on point humor
I’m literally writing a 6 page paper about this tonight for my History of American Sports humanities class! This information is not easy to find and I can tell you have done your research! Great video, like always!
Bruh before seeing this title I didn’t know I would even care about this. Then I checked my notifications, saw this title, and said huh. This seems interesting
That was a delight to watch. My Dad played for and coached the Zollner Pistons. Fred or Mr. Zollner made all his money making pistons and sold a lot of them during WWll.
The movement history of some of the franchises like the Kings or Hawks is crazy. I went to a minor league hockey game in Rochester once and they have an NBA title banner on the ceiling of the old arena there. Syracuse too.
I don't think the Pistons won a championship before they left Fort Wayne - and I'm pretty sure the arena they played in has been torn down since. The arena the Pacers won 3 ABA championships in (Market Square) got torn down some years ago - but I think they transferred the banners in the move to Conseco.
I fucking love your channel. One of the best for nba community that offers a different style of video thats more technical and analytical. Plus I love your presentation and delivery. You should have a million subs.
12:40 studebaker (stood - uh - baker ) was a car company, like chevrolet. they were dope cars too. great vid, thanks for the deepish dive. all the best, as always.
You have some quality street ballers but yeah, the only UK guy I can think of is Luol Deng which only kinda counts since he started as an African war refugee. 😂
@@johnwesleyhuss2327 Too bad I live in Hays, in Northcentral and Northwest Kansas. I would rather live in Eastern Kansas where there are more people, like Wichita, Topeka, Hutchinson, Salina, Lawrence, or Olathe. I was born in Kansas City (on the Missouri side), but I lived in Arizona for almost 9 years from late 2006 to early 2015, when I was very young. After tensions between my father and mother over a mobile game, they separated and my mom took me back to her roots in the Midwest.
NCAA had their first national championship in 1939. The NIT had theirs in 1938. From there until the early 1950's the NIT tournament was as big as the NCAA. And often teams would play in both.
great video, thoroughly enjoyed it. For what it's what- it's not the STUD-BAKERS. It's pronounced "Stewed-uh-baker" it's a type of car named after the business that manufactured it. Sincerely- an old guy
Really enjoyed the video! Also, want to add something. Argentina was a FIBA founder, but not the only South American country where the sport early came. In Brazil, basketball was introduced by YMCA itself in 1896. Rio de Janeiro was the home of the first YMCA in Latin America, founded in 1894. Something similar happened in other South American countries. The first five editions of FIBA World Cup were played in South America. Also, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay played in 1936 Olympic games. Salute from Brazil!
The first major professional basketball league was the American Basketball League which operated from 1925-1931. It then suspended operations until 1933 but came back as a minor league. The next major pro league was the NBL in 1937, the forerunner of the NBA. *David S. Neft and Richard M. Cohen, The Sports Encyclopedia: Pro Basketball (5th Edition) (St. Martin's Press, 1992)
Coming from a french Canadian .. don't worry about it its really funny you can go harder with your joke (we know its a joke) btw i died at amateur or amatoyare (as you said)
another thing is that the Harlem Globetrotters were actually a mini pro team when they started as opposed to the entertainment squad that they are well known as today !!!
The Globetrotters were a team that COULD have competed in the NBA up to around 1960 - at which point Wilt became NBA legal and the Globetrotters declined. They were ALREADY more an "entertainment" team by that point - but they stopped entertaining against actual NBA and ABA teams during the 1960s, as they kept being shown up.
CELTIC Chuck Connors w/ what looks like an inbounds pass. he was the 1st NBA player to shatter a glass backboard. 'the RIFLEMAN'. outstanding athlete, who also could act on TV and in the movies.
My first french class in a decade is starting in two days. I hope I can be as good as you someday, bro! (I'm a Filipino with a Canadian citizenship, btw. It feels like this video was made for me. Haha)
They do to a degree. But they ignore the ABA, which has had a LOT more effect on the current NBA style (and to a major degree for 50+ YEARS of the last NBA). I think it was Doctor J (who started in the ABA) that commented around 1980 "they're playing OUR style of basketball now".
I won tickets to a Nuggets game but I don't really watch the sport. I'm going to take my brother for his birthday so I'm just here to see what some basics I should know. So thank you. Your video was enlightening and entertaining.
By "Merger", you meant "acquisition". A merger is when two companies become one company, whereas an acquisition is when one company absorbs another company; in this case, the BAA absorbed the NBL， so it was an acquisition.

Such an awesome video man, thanks for keeping the old days of basketball alive. It's important to remember how we got here
roast UK ball, we suck and we have no funding for it even though its one of the largest sports and growing bigger and bigger in popularity....

And often teams would play in both.
But it was rare to unknown for a team to play in both tournaments in the SAME year.

That recap from 1957- was the whole reason i watched this
The girl holding the ball at the 4:07 mark is cute.
I liked this video, because I learned things I didn’t know and also because I find you to be quite an endearingly funny man.
Entertaining Channel and TEACHING this Channel is everything My life told me!(This is my first time watching you thank you)
Absolutely amazing, thank you so much, this is just an amazing piece of work.
It’s 17 minutes long and just came out.

Did I just woosh myself 🤦🏽♂️
11:52 I say scalabrine
Great vid Marc, first time I ever see someone looking into basketball beyond the NBA
SOME of us were ABA fans when that league was still alive.
Your spanish is as good as a Ben Simmons' three point shoot. Well, actually at least you tried it
Felipe Álvarez It was French.
@@YoungBaller-sj6wd Yeah, I know it, but he was trying to pronounce like if it was spanish, that's the reason of my comment, haha
“These photo’s are a little too bright.”
This was really funny.
Holy shit it only got funnier after that lmao.
These types of video is when MDJ is at his best, comedy plus educational content.
In Chinese Basketball Association, the team's name is literally named after the sponsor. Beijing Jiutai Bank Tigers.
Good thing you mentioned us, your Filipino fanbase! Love your videos btw!
Bro u had me dead with ur harden joke 😂😂😂💀
Excellent video on my favorite game.
The name of the Pistons comes from the city, Fort Wayne (Indiana), and the firm that put the money, Zollner Pistons, an actual factory of pistons.
How are you dissing canadians when a candian invented basketball
>:(
Was invented in America tho
mavkor 🙌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
JustCallMeRock no it is canada
Aaron Davis No, it was invented in Springfield Illinois lol.
Aaron Davis en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball just look here. That’s the reason the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is in Springfield.
Coming from a french Canadian .. don't worry about it its really funny you can go harder with your joke (we know its a joke)
btw i died at amateur or amatoyare (as you said)
A trip to The Philippines is probably be less expensive than one to any of the Asian countries you visited. I've been there twice and it was great!
Great video. Thanks for making it.
15:08 I’m rolling
As a French guy who likes your channel a lot, I'm not even mad, that was hilariously wrong, but it was amazing ^^
another thing is that the Harlem Globetrotters were actually a mini pro team when they started as opposed to the entertainment squad that they are well known as today !!!
The Globetrotters were a team that COULD have competed in the NBA up to around 1960 - at which point Wilt became NBA legal and the Globetrotters declined.
They were ALREADY more an "entertainment" team by that point - but they stopped entertaining against actual NBA and ABA teams during the 1960s, as they kept being shown up.
Hope there's a movie of Naismith
You forgot to mention the America Basketball Association merger with the National Basketball Association. I mean, Dr J was a huge star in the ABA.
Among several others - like Moses Malone, Artis Gilmore, literally dozens of players that became NBA stars after being ABA stars.
Fun fact: since the lakers won the 1948 NBL championship, that means they technically have more championships than the Celtics.
Great video as always
MDJ, that sport is traditional Mongolian wrestling. Skinny dude like you would get crushed like a fortune cookie.

How’s it going
The NBA should recognize NBL history. That league had an important role in the development of pro basketball as a sport.
They do to a degree.
But they ignore the ABA, which has had a LOT more effect on the current NBA style (and to a major degree for 50+ YEARS of the last NBA).
I think it was Doctor J (who started in the ABA) that commented around 1980 "they're playing OUR style of basketball now".
I won tickets to a Nuggets game but I don't really watch the sport. I'm going to take my brother for his birthday so I'm just here to see what some basics I should know.
So thank you. Your video was enlightening and entertaining.
that's cool! Glad I could help
By "Merger", you meant "acquisition". A merger is when two companies become one company, whereas an acquisition is when one company absorbs another company; in this case, the BAA absorbed the NBL， so it was an acquisition.
12:57 - 13:04 NBA ON NBC THEME SONG WAS THERE!!!

Such a fascinating era. Too bad there is barely any footage remaining from the 1890s-1960s.
still better than my PE teacher

amazing video as well

Do a history of every NBA team!
Great video!
Most underrated RUclipsr
I learn a lot today, thanks!!

Before broadcast radio.
Not just before broadcast TV - which is barely older than the NBA.
Two Canadians got offended
Great documentary!
Do a video on former teams! There’s a lot but it’s really interesting I think. I had no idea Toledo had a professional team and I live there!
One thing to include is to talk about the origin of the term cagers, since especially in the 1920s the game was played inside a cafe.
3:40 Image if NBA had 24 sec shot clock, but they had take basket down every time there is score.
Very cool video, thanks
I wonder how would James Naismith feels about the 3 pointer?
0:15 - 0:25 on the background? What movie is that? Anything about Samurai and Ninjas I dig it.
SeatGeeks marketing game is strong asf Jesus Christ I see them EVERYWHERE😂
